Dogs are possessed of an uncanny sixth sense that allows them sniff out looming danger, earthquakes, and trips to the vet. And you can add pug picnics to the list. The Pug Picnic is a local event that sees approximately 25-50 pugs hitting the beach on the last Sunday of every month. The whole thing lasts a couple of hours tops as these little guys are definitely not built for speed, or exercise for that matter, but it does offer them enough time to show off for a very receptive audience, wrestle down rivals, and generally just amble from lap to lap in search of attention and affection. It’s the high point of their month and, once they return home, they immediately crash and sleep off the rest of the day, allowing Fondy and I to grab some dim sum.
We went to Sun Sui Wah on Main Street, my vote for the best old-style push cart dim sum in the city (for the high-end version, check out Sea Harbour in Richmond). We were treated by our friends Steve and Jodi and did our best to sample pretty much everything that came our way including: chive dumplings, spareribs in black bean sauce, sweet and sour spareribs, chicken feet, tripe, chive dumplings, shrimp dumplings, pork in pastry, tofu, vegetarian dumplings, seafood dumplings, sticky rice, Fondy fave tofu fa (?), steam lotus buns, steamed egg yolk and coconut buns. As we prepared to head out, Steve and Jodi presented us with a gift they picked up on their last trip to San Francisco. It appears to be some sort of Japanese dessert. Although Steve and Jodi weren’t sure what the heck it was either, they were won over by the uplifting message on the packaging: “When our hearts are fully satisfied. Our taste buds are fully satisfied. We’ve found a taste we would like to know. Please try it.” Truer words were never spoken. Who could say no to that?
Let’s answer some questions before I get back to my taxes –
Bugguy writes: “Will we be seeing the lovely Laura Harris or the talented Leela Savasta in episodes of season 4.”
Answer: Not as of yet.
Melissa writes: “If you have been to London, England, what is your favorite “hole in the wall”-type pub or restaurant there?”
Answer: I have never been. I was thinking of going a few years ago and then watched that documentary, 28 Days Later. Are zombies still as prevalent there as they used to?
Giu writes: “Speaking of anime, everyone in my family think that I am wasting my time watching anime/Reading manga Why do you think they react that way and do you know how I can prove they’re wrong?”
Answer: They think that way because, in their opinion, they assume you’re wasting your time watching “cartoons”. I’d suggest picking up a book on elementary Japanese and then tell them watching anime is helping you develop an ear for the language. That’s what I tell my wife.
Mel writes: “in Hide & Seek, Grodin explains to Weir that “the text we were studying says the shield imprints on the wearer. If we’re right, it wouldn’t work on anyone else.”
Answer: That’s assuming the individual that first sports the shield never turns off its singular imprinting capacity. Clearly, McKay wasn’t the first person to ever don that particular personal shield as it was presumably used by the Ancients before him – which would suggest that imprinting does occur but isn’t indefinite given the wearer’s ability to control the device.

Anonymous #3 writes: “Oh, and the rumors? I could tell you first hand something I heard said about one of your actors by one of TPTB at an event (NOT a convention. Something else) in LA.”
Answer: With all due respect, I’m going to have to call bullshit on that.
Firefly827437 writes: “Who’s the guy hiding behind the book?”
Answer: That’s director Will Warring. His face appeared on a recent episode of America’s Most Wanted so he’s keeping a low profile.
Anonymous #4 writes: “Hey Joe, who wrote the Bad Guys story?”
Answer: Ben Browder came up with the idea for the episode, but Martin Gero wrote the script.
Kali Weir a ecrit: “Quel épisode tournez-vous en ce moment ?”
Reponse: En ce moment, nous tournons Reunion et Ark of Truth.
Jenny Robin writes: “How was your weekend?”
Answer: Relaxing. I finished Slaughter-House Five and The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Tonight, I’ll be starting Walter H. Hunt’s The Dark Wing.
Siba writes: “I asked you some time ago where you get your plates.
Answer: Welcome back. Those particular plates we received as a gift. I checked the back of one of the platters and found the following: “Queens – Hookers Fruit”(?!).
Anonymous #5 writes: “So you have no problem with an equally capabale (or possibly more capable) actress being out of work so TPTB can keep their golden child in the franchise?”
Answer: I’ve already made it perfectly clear that the decision to bring Carter aboard was in no way connected to the decision regarding Weir. Nevertheless, feel free to cling to whatever wild, unsubstantiated theory makes you feel all warm, tingly and, oh yeah, superior.
Michelle writes: “As a home theater pro, how many remote controls do you have to deal with? “
Answer: I only deal with one universal remote.
Too cute.
A friend of mine has a pug. Is it normal behavior for a Pug to get upset by someone leaving? Every time I leave it starts going crazy and tries to block the exit.
>Answer: I only deal with one universal remote.
Hmm, have you ever checked if it’s the one from “Click” and if yes, can you tell us how many seasons Atlantis will run and if the third series will be successful 😉
You said you’re not allowed to read fanfiction for legal reasons, but what about published Stargate books (like the Fandemonium series)? Would there be similar legal dilemmas in reading these?
Whatever happened to Sora? For an evil Genii, she was super cute.
Joe, I think you’re starting to look like your pugs, in a cute way of course.
You know in GW they got certain names describing the relationships between characters.
Spanky = Teyla/Ronon
Sparky = Shep/Weir
Snarky = McKay/Zelenka
What word would you use to describe the relationship between you and your fans? Spikey? Spunky? Spooky? Stinky?
Also, will Weir be in more than one episode in the back half of Season 4? Can you give more hints about Teyla’s baby?
Thanks for your time. Really enjoy your food blog. I don’t understand how you’re so slim with all that eating!
“Answer: With all due respect, I’m going to have to call bullshit on that. “
Great. You do that. But I was there, as where several other people who I told what was said immediately after it was said.
It was said by one of your network friends who was supposed to be visiting the set a while ago, but didn’t. Ask him about a comment he made about hotels in Vancouver, and which one he definitely wasn’t going to stay in…..
Joe,
I have a food and Stargate related question. I was listening to Paul on the commentary to the Fourth Horseman part two and he talked about your obsession with food and that food monologue Mitchell makes waiting for Landry to arrive at the Sodan Village was your insipration. My question is what was the norwegian cheese Mitchell was referring to in his omlette recipe?
Regarding Terry Pratchett, GeekBoy says, “Read them in order.” After a little pushing, he says that the Death books and the City Watch books are good. The 1st of all is The Color of Magic, the 1st City Watch book is Guards, Guards, and the first Death book is Morte. I have no idea what any of that means, just quoting the kid, who has several dozen Pratchett books scattered around his room amongst the Legos.
Regarding Terry Pratchett
“Small Gods” & “Pyramds” are great reads, especialy if you’ve never read any Pratchett before
Pratchett’s books are great reading when you’re between massive epics at about 300 pages they’re short, funny and very entertaining. His Discworld series is what he’s most well known for (30+ books and counting) and is a satire on “high” fantasy.
I wonder how many other universes the “universal remote” actually works in? I am thinking it is Asgard technology, that we simply do not properly understand. My husband seems to have the power of programming it, but actually using it, well that function escapes us. Although, after he’s pushed buttons for a two weeks straight so we can turn on the t.v. AND the blender, perhaps the batteries just need to be changed. Can you follow up with Thor on that for me?

The delightful (?) looking pugs seem to be wearing something – covering their undercarriage. Is this some type of pug bathing attire?
I can’t say that I find them appealing, but they are growing on me – slowly. I am more a bull-mastiff sort of girl. Although currently I have two feline fiends.
Just thought I’d say hello since I haven’t read in awhile. Some of that food looks mighty tasty.
Awww the pugs are so awesome!!:D
So how was the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy?
-JJ
WooT! First comment rights! ^_^ …Probably not though, cause you have them all approved first. But still, I can pretend.
Terry Pratchett books, go for “Hogfather”. It’s a bit of a Christmas-y theme, but it’s a gorgeous read.
A somewhat-random question that you may not even be able to answer, but I can’t help it (it’s one of those ‘for future refence’ things).
Eventually but not yet, I’m making an Indie and say I wanted to hire Hewlett to act in it, or you as a script-advisor (I example those because I’ve considered it).
Getting past the fact that you are all (in)famous superheros and might laugh in the face of my puny fresh-out-of-college scrappy-budget indie, How do I go about it? And much in advance do I try? Or are you already laughing at me? XD
To answer your question, the presence of zombies in London have calmed down since the ending of World War Z.
However, the north of England, where I studied abroad, was full of beautiful countryside and lacking in slow moving, flesh eating dead people.
Know of any “hole in the wall”-type British pubs in Los Angeles?
I’ve been wondering since Critical Mass, seriously, is there any chance of see Jamie Ray Newman in S4?
What are your favorite episdoes to write? Comedic, dark, stand-alone…
OMG….
ok then, everyone reading this please pay attention – Joe said that (and i’ll write it big so you get it) CARTER ON THE SHOW HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WEIR LEAVING. I mean, come on, let up with it. I think we are all a bit sick people going on about it when Joe has repeatedly denied it.
Michelle writes: “As a home theater pro, how many remote controls do you have to deal with? “
Answer: I only deal with one universal remote.
Which universal remote are you using? I can’t find one I like that doesn’t cost a million dollars. I had a harmony remote, but managed to dump a cup of tea on it.
Something just struck me… (ow)
It’s kind of silly to go in as “Annonymous” because… isn’t it technically annonymous if you go by a screenname like ‘mars’ or ‘i_heart_joe’ or something anyways?

Ah–okay! Thank you!
Have you seen the uncyclopedia article on Stargate Atlantis? If not… http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Stargate_Atlantis
it’s good for a laugh!
Hi Joe:
In case you haven’t figured it out, I’m a big fan of Elizabeth. I see nothing wrong in asking that she be included in more than four episodes. If we weren’t asking, you might think we don’t care. 🙂
So, are the writers in the process of writing scripts for the back half of season 4, or are you still pitching ideas around?
Thanks,
Roxanne
Hi Joe:
I hate taxes too. I get my accountant to do them for me. If you’ve waited to the last minute to do your taxes, you must owe them money.
You once said that you have been mentored before, but you don’t have time to mentor anyone. Have you ever mentored anyone in the past? If so, who?
Have a great day, Joe.
Patricia
I e-mailed your aunt about this blog. I think she’d love the pug pics. I’m hoping she’ll leave a comment, but she’s not the most tech-savvy person.
Have you read anything by Stephen R. Lawhead? He does mostly fantasy. His “Song of Albion” trilogy is quite good (about a modern-day guy getting transported to a Celtic-like world), though I could never get into any of his other stuff.
Giu writes: “Speaking of anime, everyone in my family think that I am wasting my time watching anime/Reading manga…”
Funny my brother says the same thing about Sci-Fi so when he tells me that “it’s a waste of time and money” I just ask him what he thinks smoking is. We all have our vices; at least my addiction is not harmful. Now, on to my question: Who came up with “If you immediately know the candlelight is fire then the meal was coked a long time ago”?
Why was General HAmmond in the ep”Home” because he was then working with HOME WORLD SECURITY and would have been at the SGC.
Ever thought about calling the one of the ship “PEGASUS”?
Awe *Pug Love*
Quick question this…
What question amongst the myriad of ones that you are asked over and over do you find most tedious and why?
What happened to the Atlantian ship that showed up at the midway point in The Returned pt. 1?
On the questions of zombies in London…
It’s sad but true that the zombies are still around but they only tend to come out to attend the odd celebrity party and who can blame them? They can feast to their hearts content on the brains there and nobody really notices the difference with the celebrity du jour…
You should be safe if you stick to other places…Devon and Cornwall are lovely; the Peak and Lake District beautiful – Kendal mint cake, real English afternoon teas; you really should try real haggis in Scotland and Guiness in Ireland. I understand Richard Dean Anderson discovered the wonder of scones when he was in the UK for Avalon.
Pratchett co-wrote this little book called Good Omens with Neil Gaimen and it’s hilarious. I highly recommend it.
*waves*
Joe says: I have never been. I was thinking of going a few years ago and then watched that documentary, 28 Days Later. Are zombies still as prevalent there as they used to?
Yep, zombies are still prevalent especially on the London underground, only they’re now called commuters. :p
😀
Re: Terry Pratchett – The early Discworld novels have a different feel to the later ones. Some readers can be put off by this.
Guards!Guards! is probably a good place to start – then read them in order.
“Answer: I have never been. I was thinking of going a few years ago and then watched that documentary, 28 Days Later. Are zombies still as prevalent there as they used to?
“
They have made a sequel – 28 Weeks Later. Does that answer your question? Most of the extras from the film are taken from the ‘I hate Carter’ anti-fan club. They just have that special look about them.
Is there any chance of McKay becoming a daddy in later seasons of Atlantis? (assuming there are later seasons)
Sanssong says: “Please! God, make it stop! No more stupid names”
Then why do you and your three other friends refer to Shep/Teyla as “Sheyla”? In fact, Joe should Google “Sheyla”. Just for fun. ;o)
“Answer: I have never been. I was thinking of going a few years ago and then watched that documentary, 28 Days Later. Are zombies still as prevalent there as they used to?”
The Rage zombies have kind of died down now. Though I would suggest caution on May 11 in the UK and would stay away from people with blood red eyes if you see any on that day.
Anonymous #1 writes: “Joe have you ever read any Terry Pratchett books?”
Answer: Not yet. What would you recommend?
Oh gosh, where to start? Well, all the Discworld books are brilliant so I would probably suggest starting from the very beginning with the first Discworld novel – The Colour of Magic. You’ve said you’re not a huge fan of high fantasy so Terry’s books would probably appeal to you – the Discworld novels are very, very funny and rather poke fun at the high fantasy standards.. whilst taking an ironic look at many aspects of our own world.
Other than the Discworld books – you *must* read Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Actually… thinking about that.. if the proposed movie of Good Omens ever breaks free of pre-production hell, you’d be perfect for the role of Crowley. 😉
I’ve read Good Omens so many times and still love it and it still makes me laugh. As a voracious reader yourself, do you ever re-read books or are you strictly a one-time read and done with it? I love to go back and re-read favourites but my mum, for example, can only ever read a book once – reading it a second time bores her.
I have never been. I was thinking of going a few years ago and then watched that documentary, 28 Days Later. Are zombies still as prevalent there as they used to?
Depends where you go. I wouldn’t recommend Slough.
I’d suggest picking up a book on elementary Japanese and then tell them watching anime is helping you develop an ear for the language. That’s what I tell my wife.
Yeah. I’ve got my dad believing that Stargate is helping me with my physics homework.
That’s director Will Warring. His face appeared on a recent episode of America’s Most Wanted so he’s keeping a low profile.
Lol, thanks for answering my question 🙂
I only deal with one universal remote.
At the risk of sounding unbelievably sexist towards my own gender, is it’s name by any chance ‘Fondy’?

Hey Joe,
Is there any Vegemite on Atlantis for those Aussies? If not, Do you think it could be possible to put some in there, so all us Aussies can be proud!
From Ben.
Do you have new casting news to share: new recurrings or guest stars?
Joe,
Thanks for all the pug pix! They makes me miss my lil guy.
Did you see the promo add for last friday’s SG-1, “The road not taken”? Instead of calling Carter “Sam” they called her Amanda 😀 I love those little errors.
Have you ever read any books by Sarah Douglass?

Hey Joe, love the blog and the pugs – really cute! Can’t wait for Season 4 to see how all the changes will be implemented. In my eyes TPTB should be given the benefit of the doubt because I remember being dubious about Ronan replacing Ford – now I can’t imagine the team without the big guy! Anyway, can you clear up a question on the timelines for me please? The two SG1 movies – will they be occuring in the same timeline as SGA Season 4 or further ahead? In SG1 ep “The Pegasus Project” where was that in relation to SGA? Before or after the season 2 finale? Sorry if these were asked or answered before in the ep – it’s so long until the Sky 1 repeats will get to these eps! Thanks so much
Hi again, I was just wondering Have you ever tried Yakitori? If you have how dose it taste? I’m thinking of making some!
Terry Pratchett does some funny and intelligent work. As for what to read first, you may be amused by his take on the film industry in “Moving Pictures” which is set in the DiscWorld ‘verse. I don’t think you *have* to be familiar with DiscWorld to understand the book though. I thoroughly enjoy his books about the guards and “Thud” had me giggling so hard I was in tears.
Hi Joe,
Could you confirm a rumor I heard coming from you-know-who’s mouth about some actor at such-and-such a place? Thanks loads.
Okay, just kidding. I have yet another serious question, and this is kind of personal so I’ll leave it up to you whether you post this question or not, but did you (or do you now) ever bring the stresses of your work home with you, and how did/does Fondy deal with you?
My husband works in entertainment (in animation, actually) and he’s constantly bringing home his issues with talent/crew/bosses/whatever, and while it sometimes sounds fascinating, it gets really old really fast. I suppose it’s the same everywhere in any line of work, but dealing with talent (whether they be voice actors or creators or storyboard artists) and their egos isn’t really the same as dealing with your co-worker in the cubicle next to you, you know? How did you learned to leave your work at work, or didn’t you? Thanks again.

*giggle* That’s really cute Joe ^_^ I was hoping for a link to their actual blogs.
Hey Joe!
I just wanted to delurk and say how much I appreciate you writing this blog. A lot of people are quick to throw insults in your direction, but they don’t stop to think about the fact that not a lot of people in television production even bother to speak to the fans. That you take time out of your extremely busy schedule to do this for us is so kind! That you have to put up with the crap that comes along with it is unfortunate, but thank you for not being discouraged, and for continuing to post! I met another SGA writer earlier this year and it seems as though the whole group of you is nothing but nice.
I did have a quick question for you though! I’m currently in University, and my career of choice post-graduation is to become a writer for television. I was wondering if there’s any advice you could give me on how I should go about getting into the industry? Is there anything I should be doing now, while I’m in school? Should I be sending scripts to agents or production studios, and if so, how do I go about getting those addresses and names?
Thank you so much for your time! I hope season four is coming along well!

Hey Joe,
What were the ratings for TRNT and Irresponsible? Good?
Sanssong says: “Please! God, make it stop! No more stupid names”
If I remember correctly you or maybe it was Camy, I get confused with you guys. Anyways you guys tried to rename your ship to TWIX. Now that was hilarious.
So yeah, this person is just having fun. I thought that’s what fandom was supposed to be about.
Is Rodney ever going to find out that he was Married to Carter in an Alternate Universe?
I was sitting here thinking of the 97 things I need to do this week, when a question suddenly popped in my head. How does the city of Atlantis stay where it is on the ocean surface? Why doesn’t it float away from the mainland?
What episodes have been shot thus far and what episode is currently being filmed? Also, since we know who’s written each episode, could you tell us who’s directed each episode so far and who’s lined up to direct those that have yet to be filmed? Thanks!
Those are some niiiiice pugs Joe! Good to see them having a good time!
No question this time, but I wanted to you to take a look at this:
It’s not a fan-vid, but it does involve the phat rapper David Hewlett. It’s definatley worth a look.
Then why do you and your three other friends refer to Shep/Teyla as “Sheyla”? In fact, Joe should Google “Sheyla”. Just for fun. ;o)
Excuse me but no one I know who ships for J/T refers to them as Sheyla. I personally loathe the name and never use it. The nicknames and blending of names is stupid.
As for your snide remark that Joe should look up the name on Google, I guess that shows where your mind is.
If I remember correctly you or maybe it was Camy, I get confused with you guys. Anyways you guys tried to rename your ship to TWIX. Now that was hilarious.
So yeah, this person is just having fun. I thought that’s what fandom was supposed to be about.
Hmmm, maybe someday you will have the guts to post your name with these insults.
As far as I’m concerned, Twix wasn’t any more stupid than Sparky. Sorry. And for me, name blending isn’t fun, but to each their own.
You know what would be really cool. If Atlantis team finds another of those devices for mind transferring that Machello had and that McKay and Carter switch minds. Is there any chance of that kind of an episode ?
I bet it would be funny.
WOW David Hewlett! again……. can’t say enough how great he is. He’s always seem to be in the spotlight. 🙂
So what can you tell us about McKay’s arc in S4? And I won’t be asking for McKay rapping anytime soon. At least not our Rodney. 😉 Maybe an AU McKay. But still a huge maybe.
Lol Joe, I think you’re gonna have to get some moderators for your blog! First the Weir/Carter debate and now the ‘naming’… I think people have forgotten that this isn’t a free-for-all bitching session. You dogs are so cute! Is that Fondy in the first pic with the dog?
By the way, I’ve always wondered: is ‘Fondy’ short for anything?
Such adorable dogs!
I see you got quite a few recommendations for Terry Pratchett books, but here is mine,too- “Hogfather” , “Night Watch” and “Thud!” are the best for me from the whole Discworld series, but it is better to read them in order, so “Guards!Guards!” and “Mort” are good for a start. And “Good Omens” is a wonderful book, and it’s not a part of a series.
Aw, the pugs are so cute. If only I could get one…
A couple questions: 1.) As far as Mckay’s sister goes, will we be seeing her again in the “Miller’s Crossing” episode, as in joining the Altantis expedition, or is it strictly just a visit? 2.) Hypothetically, if the Atlantis gate was *not* the only gate in Pegasus that could dial Earth, could the Wraith just hook up one of their hive ships to a gate (much like SG-1 did with two cars in s2’s “1969”) and use that as a power source. and get to Earth?

So…to clarify…some unnamed network person said something to you which you swear you promptly shared with a group of your equally unidentified friends; and you feel it is somehow relevant to something someone said here but apparently not enough to tell us what the hell you’re talking about.
Thanks for clearing that all up for us, Mr. Anonymous (or is it Miss?).
You said you finished The Hitchhicker’s Guild to the Galaxy. Have you read the whole trilogy or just the first book?
There’s been a lot of ‘Scifi are deliberately trying to sabotage SGA’s chance of survival’ talk recently with the schedule swops and lack of promotion. I can see why people would think that, but from a business point of which it doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. While I dont pretend to know the in’s and out’s of US TV, a friend and I have been arguing like crazy about syndication rights for SGA. Who own them? MGM or Scifi? If Scifi cancelled SGA at the end of the 4th season…
**assumes pretzel that doesn’t happen**… wouldn’t they loose out on their investment in the show? Or would they see it returned through syndication? Is this why MGM didn’t find a new distributor for SG1, as they did when it switched from Shotime to Scifi? Sorry! I find the business side of things fascinating!
I think the biggest shock for most of us, definitly me, was that Teyla is pregnant nezt season. And seeing as how surprises on this show are never quite what we expect…there is no way this is a normal pregnancy…and I’m sure I just stated the obvious.
I have done some exclusive talking with many other gate fanatics, and there are a few of us that are thoroughly convinced that whatever this pregnancy is…it is Michael’s doing. That something happened during Venegeance or in an epi before the Seer.
Are we getting warm??

Another Anonymous putting hand up. There’s no difference between Anon or Sanssong (unless that’s really your real name), it’s just a handle. As for the original poster, he/she was just having fun with S***ky names otherwise I’m sure Sheyla, Dala, McShep, Weyla would have been mentioned. Guess one needs a sense of humour to appreciate some of these cute name blendings. I know I thought they were adorable. Your own remark came across as rather petulant and petty which is why other posters replied to it. Like you said, to each their own so let them enjoy it instead of trying to dictate terms. And no, I’m not a shipper.
Joe, what were the reasons behind the decision to off TH again? I have seen you mention the two decisions were made independant of each other, and I have seen you mention the reasons behind choosing AT, but I don’t recall seeing the reasons behind TH’s removal(for lack of a better word). Care to enlighten us?
